Diversified creative experiences Recreate the cultural field of "art exhibitions that everyone can participate in"
On January 18, 2022, the 2nd Zhangjiang Huizhi Art Festival and wang zhenghong art exhibition with the theme of "Very Childlike Heart - The Unknown of Memory" officially kicked off in Zhangjiang, Pudong, the leading area of socialist modernization. The organizer, Huizhi International Business Center, joined hands with artist Wang Zhenghong to jointly bring a "Wang Doll Tumbler" art exhibition of spatial perception. This exhibition is another time that Huizhi International Commercial Center has broken the tradition of art works displayed in art museums after the first Zhangjiang Huizhi Art Festival. Combining art and commerce, consumers can perceive art and integrate into art, so that more people can become the experiencers of this art exhibition in the simplest and purest state. With the charm of art, we will inject more new vitality and hope into the post-epidemic era.
Giant stainless steel sculpture "A Doll's Cave Sky"
The exhibition features nine giant stainless steel sculptures recently created by artist Wang Zhenghong, giant dolls that stand tall in the exhibition hall, with different expressions, looking at each other and independent of each other. Starting from the artist's childhood experiences and feelings, the exhibition transforms her growth memories into a tenacious tumbler in life. At the same time, it integrates her feelings and thoughts on the external environment in recent years, as art critic Jiang Jun wrote: At the moment when the epidemic is raging, Wang Zhenghong's works are a kind of inquiry into the essence of human beings and the meaning of life.
As the current vice dean and professor of the School of Handicraft Arts of China Academy of Art, Wang Zhenghong has long been engaged in the creation and teaching research related to public art and arts and crafts. Since 1998, his works have been exhibited and collected in major art institutions at home and abroad. In this series of exhibitions, Wang Zhenghong once described herself as nostalgic for her childhood and remembering her father's love, and she integrated the portrayal of the depths of family affection into the image of the doll, and the dolls looked at each other, and the emotions were transmitted. As academic host Xu Jiang wrote in the article "The Cave Sky of the Doll": In the stainless steel mirror, the smiling face of each child is illuminated, and the joy of the children is rippled. May the cave sky that does not fall not only summon joy, but also summon the long love of human nature.
Wang Zhenghong's works not only respond to his own growth experience, but at the same time achieve perfect resonance with universal existential inquiry at the time of the spread of the epidemic.
High-quality art exhibitions elevate the commercial temperature
In the 14th Five-Year Plan, Zhangjiang Science City is developing towards the goal of taking innovation as the core and independent innovation as the driving force. As the core business district of Zhangjiang Science City, Huizhi International Business Center pioneered the positioning of "science and technology + art + business", hoping to infiltrate people's hearts through high-quality art exhibitions such as "Wang Doll Series" and enhance the commercial temperature of high-energy artistic expression. At the same time, it is also expected to give consumers more leisure experiences than shopping, bring richer cultural life to consumers in Pudong and even the whole of Shanghai, and then add a unique cultural charm to the commercial space.
The tumbler in the "thorny" jungle A metaphor for the human spirit under the epidemic
Today's world is experiencing major changes unprecedented in a century, global trade barriers are constantly escalating, various contradictions are emerging day by day, and the mainland, as the world's largest socialist country, is facing many risks and challenges. The obstacle is long, and the doll that "stands firm" has become the illusion of life's realization and vision, and it is also a metaphor for the human spirit under the epidemic. The choice of "Wang Doll" to be exhibited during the Spring Festival symbolizes the people's yearning for a better life, and we also look forward to everyone being able to gather perseverance and hope in the Spring Festival of reunion and harmony. I wish the motherland prosperity and prosperity.
